ARCHIVED - Stop defending bad rumors aka lol 20 cap

Urks twitter
"I didn't say anything about a level 20 cap during the interview"
For all we know we can level our guardians to level 100 and each game we get scaled back. Can't say otherwise as destiny has consistently showed us a new way to play a fps with destiny.
The second everyone thought the cap was 20 every bungie butt hugger came out of the woods trying to defend bungie regardless of whether or it was good for the game. Even watched videos defending it
I'm aware of light and leveling armor and progressing your character past levels in just saying be more open minded about if something is a good idea don't just hop on w/e bungie may or may not think is a good idea.

I just feel like there should be as much levels as upgrades. Otherwise it's kind of pointless if you set a high level cap and there's no stat per level increase.
A high level cap would of course prolong playing just to level, but there needs to be a reason you're trying to get that level higher.
If there is 3 subclasses and each sub class say had a cap of 15 (non lock in), would it be a bad idea if the numbers just added up in the end? Bringing you at 45 non locked and however much more at the time you choose to lock one in?
I'm using 15 as a subclass lock in because in the alpha the other subclass was unlocked at level 15 which made me think that's when lock in become available (If it isn't it would most likely become available after all reach 15 giving the option to choose 1 after trying them all out). So I'm assuming the 3rd would be unlocked at 30.
I'm not defending anything, but to me it seems like this is a viable explanation of a semi low level cap. Probaby like 50 Or how ever many levels the additional abilities would need if they are gained by levels. If not, 45 seems cap.
If 45 -60 Is low, what would be a decent number and what could be unlocked to make it worth upping the level cap?
[spoiler]this is all just my speculation, I remember seeing way higher than 20 in old pictures somewhere[/spoiler]

it's not defending a rumor when you are simply suggesting that there is information that could suggest the cap.. I've seen several bits of information that make it seem likely.. and I've seen one specific thing that would make it seem odd and unfitting.. I'm not propagating rumor.. I've not started a thread that states it is or isn't 20.. but when someone else does (often either asking if anyone knows or stating as fact that it is or isnt) I lend my opinion.. usually providing the information I have gleaned that led to my analysis and again I usually include the factor that would suggest it isn't 20.. and a forum dedicated to a game.. that exists in the last few months before it's release.. is going to have the conversations.. so long as no one is stating as fact one way or the other.. the discussion is what the forum is for. So long as someone presents intelligent analysis, sources for guesses, or general hopes or wishes it's all good.
